Configuring for the HUT

The binary distribution on your tape is configured with the following command:

configure --prefix=/usr/cygnus/progressive-release \
   --exec-prefix=/usr/cygnus/progressive-release/H-hosttype \
  [ --target=target ]

This configuration is used for each hosttype for a given release. The `--target=target' option is only needed for cross-development configurations. If you are building installations for more than one platform, each platform should follow this standard. This configuration places machine-independent files (like documentation and library sources) in

/usr/cygnus/progressive-release

and machine-dependent files (like binary programs and precompiled library archives) in

/usr/cygnus/progressive-release/H-hosttype

Using these installation locations allows us to create multiple Heterogeneous Updateable Toolkits from a single source tree by simply putting two strategic symbolic links in place.
